7 REASONS YOU MIGHT BE SINGLE

Being single is nothing to be ashamed of. Some people are single because they choose to be. They are simply not interested in being in a serious relationship at this time in their life. Others are single due to the circumstances of their lives. They may have gotten out of a meaningful relationship or have dated relentlessly and just haven't found someone whom they're truly compatible.

Whatever the case may be, there are numerous reasons WHY you may still be single, whether by choice or not.

HIGH STANDARDS- It's great to have high standards. No one should sell themselves short. There is such a thing, however, as having standards that are too high.

Normal standards are something like this: "I want him to respect me, treat me right and be honest and decent." Too high standards looks like this: "He better drives a Lexus and have a job making six figures."

*It's good to have expectations but ultimately, whether or not he's a high earner isn't going to bring you happiness or a stable relationship.


FEAR OF REJECTION- The fear of rejection is a common problem that prevents many from advancing in their romantic life and may be one of the reasons why you are still single. Most people isn't willing to risk getting hurt, which is why many of us holds back from making the first move.

*Getting rejected is inevitable in life. It will happen. Most of us has been through it. Stop fearing, unless you want to be single for the rest of your life.


PLAYING HARD TO GET-  You send mixed signals, pretending not to care when you do. Which eventually cause he/she to give up on you and move on to someone else. Playing hard to get can make things a little bit confusing to the person you are trying to attract. It makes it hard to find Mr/Mrs. Right.

 * Admit to your feelings instead of playing games.

STILL HUNG UP ON YOUR EX- Breaking up is hard to do, and sometimes it can be hard to let go of the past. Holding on to feelings will only stop you from moving on with your life.

*It may not be easy, but give yourself permission to meet someone new.

LOW SELF-ESTEEM- You believe no one worthwhile would be interested in you. We all possess critical inner voices that tells we are too fat, too ugly, too old or too different. When we listen to these voices we engage in behaviors that push people away. It's important to fight the pattern inside us that holds us back from getting what we want.

*Get rid of the idea that nobody worthwhile will ever see you as someone to date or instead, work on your confidence!

COMMITMENT ISSUES- You might have serious commitment issues; because you are afraid of getting hurt or becoming dependent on the other person. You don't want to become emotionally attach, so you avoid any long term relationships.

*Take chances, because you never know, maybe that person might not disappoint you!

YOUR INDEPENDENCE- You value your independence, and may not want to be tied down to one person. You are free-spirit and don't want to be obligated to spend time with them.

*Enjoy the your independence. Someday when you are sitting across from your future partner at dinner, you'll look back on this time with gratitude.
